The kind of front page historians may one day analyse in disbelief. Scientists have run out of words to tell us how serious an emergency this is. And still both main parties bury their heads in the sand
Emily Kerr, "If you look across Europe, most countries have proportional representation.. It's a fairer system which means each vote counts equally" @EmilyKerr36
"At the moment, we're first past the post.. Elections are decided, whether it's local or national, based on swing voters, in a very narrow set of seats"
"It is only the UK and Belarus in Europe who have this system. We need wide ranging system reform"
"People are concerned about the environment.. Climate change is real.. People want a better future for their kids.. Their grandkids.. There's huge disappointment about Labour's abandonment of the £28 billion pledge.. That's really cut through"
John Curtice explains the paradox in Labour's voter base.
They're attracting Leave voters, but generally it's those who've changed their minds and would now vote Remain.
And overall their voters are around 75% pro-EU.
Makes their stance madness.
Dear @bbcnews, I've just been looking at your election results tracker.
It seems Reform won 2 seats.
The Greens won 181 - NINETY times more seats.
Can I assume that from now on we'll see the Greens represented 90 times more often than Reform on your shows?

Angela Rayner & I both grew up in poverty on council estates. We both left school without any qualifications. We both worked hard against almost insurmountable odds to get where we are today & we both now hold a truth twisting, law breaking government to account.
No wonder they hate social mobility so much. I’ll proudly stand shoulder to shoulder with Angela any day of the week

Why did former Home Secretary Priti Patel intervene to help a company bag PPE contracts worth £216 MILLION, after being contacted by a Tory party adviser and donor?
I'm working with the @goodlawproject to bring you these Tory stories 👍🏼
Four things seem true:
- Brexit can never work as well as being in EU;
- Brexit can work better than now;
- every viable step to make Brexit work better involves moving closer to EU. Some mean following EU rules;
- so UK will in end seek to return to EU and get its votes back

Latest opinion polls suggest Labour might win around 470 of parliament’s 650 seats in the forthcoming general election. The Tories might have only 100. How does that make you feel?
This Easter, holiday makers, beachgoers and wild swimmers have been warned against swimming in dozens of rivers and coastal areas across England.
